5 CONTEMPORARY WORLD PROBLEMS
Global Financial Crisis
The global financial crisis, brewing for a while, really started to show its effects in the middle of 2007 and into 2008.

Meat production is a main contributor to global warming. Cattle farms release millions of tons of methane and CO2 every year.
